Ingredients

  • tomatoes
    4 small
  • bell pepper
    1
  • white onion
    ½
  • lemon or lime

    lime is more ideal

    ½
  • garlic

    depending on preference

    1 cloves
  • jalapeno

    you can leave this out if you are making this for the kids

    1
  • chopped fresh cilantro
    ¼ c
  • salt
    2 tsp

Directions

  1. 1

    Dice tomatoes- try to get as much of the juice in the bowl as possible. If your tomatoes aren't that juicy, you could always add water later.

  2. 2

    Chop remaining vegetables and add to the bowl.

  3. 3

    Squeeze in lemon/lime juice.

  4. 4

    Add 2 tsp salt and mix well.

  5. 5

    Add salsa to a wide mouth mason jar and place weight on top, pushing down well, making sure the vegetables are submerged under the brine.

  6. 6

    Cover jar with fermentation lid or a loose lid. You want the gases to be able to escape without allowing anything in, like gnats.

  7. 7

    Leave on the counter at room temperature for 2 days to allow the good bacteria to take over. If your house is really warm, it may only take one day to ferment.

  8. 8

    Throughout the fermentation process, it is good to check your vegetables and make sure they are still submerged under the brine.

  9. 9

    Once, it is fermented to your liking, enjoy and keep stored place in the fridge for 3-4 months.
